What do others think? Without hijacking the thread.
I feel he's OUR best ever leader. Not yours hands off!
Bit like us Brits can moan about this country but as soon as anyone else does the hackles go up!
SOmetimes I wonder what won't get you Brits hackles up (chuckle)
Okay so he IS YOUR Leader but forgive some of us for thinking that as far as the war went he was THE leader in terms of the allied cause (sorry FDR-o-philes).
As to that wasn't Churchill's Mum a yank? or was it his grand mum? One of them was. So we COULD claim if we liked that he was HALF ours.
I agree with you on the Bush thing, but then Hitler, Stalin, Tojo and Count Dracula would spin in their graves if they were quoted by the Texan from Kennebunkport.
